    Lovely setting and a lovely atmosphere. Booked a table for the bottomless roast and was not disappointed. Service was amazing and was well looked after as it was a birthday meal. Brought along our own birthday cake and this was brought out after the meal with no quibble. Had a lovely afternoon and will definitely visit again. Thanks to all at the White Oak for making the occasion memorable.

    We reserved a table at 8pm on Valentine’s Day and turned up at our allotted time - table was still in use and asked to wait at the bar. We went to the bar, that was full of dirty used glasses, and waited 10 mins to be served even though there was no one else at the bar, waiting staff rushing around everywhere and all clearly looked very stressed. Finally got a drink at 820pm and waited until 840pm for our table. Took a while to get served - finally got our food at 930pm but my wife’s dish was cold. No waiting staff around, so had to go to manager to ask to rectify, which she promptly did - however, took both dishes back and waited another 15 mins for our meal. By this time we had lost our appetite and felt the evening had been completely tarnished. Decided to get the bill after our main as didn’t want to stay any longer - my wife’s dishes were taken off the bill, but generally very disappointing evening - it used to be very smart and good service gastropub but now it is clearly tired and average food. Will not be retuning.
